First Baptist School is a ministry of First Baptist Church in Caldwell, Texas. We are looking for a person who loves GOD and loves to work with children and adults. Our school consists of Wee 3's through 5th grade and this past school year, we had 76 students enrolled with 19 staff members. Our students enjoy having Chapel every day as well as their Bible classes. FBS utilizes the ABEKA Christian curriculum for our students.
This coming year, we are excited to be able to offer our Pre-School students a calendar that will run all year long. This schedule matches up with most of the parent's job schedules. Parents have the option to choose the 10 month or 12 month calendar.
We are very fortunate to have Project Curiosity, which is a Science STEM program that visits our campus once a week and the students absolutely LOVE it. We also have partnered with Loud Mouth for them to come one day a week to teach Music to our students.
